Key result
A 12-week nurse-led prevention programme significantly increased the proportion of patients achieving blood pressure (CVD +15.4%, HRI +25%) and LDL cholesterol targets (CVD +6%, HRI +23%).

Does a 12-week community-based nurse-led prevention programme improve cardiovascular risk factors in patients with established CVD or at high multifactorial risk?
An integrated community-based nurse-led cardiovascular disease prevention programme significantly improves lifestyle factors and risk factor targets in patients with or at high risk for CVD.
Connolly et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular disease or high multifactorial risk (n=3,232). 12-week community-based nurse-led prevention programme (MyAction) was evaluated on Cardiovascular risk factors including smoking, diet, fitness, blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol. A 12-week nurse-led prevention programme significantly increased the proportion of patients achieving blood pressure (CVD +15.4%, HRI +25%) and LDL cholesterol targets (CVD +6%, HRI +23%).
